Another year over, and a new one just begun...

I'm not a girlie-girl, and those who know me will know this. I never played with dolls really as a child, Barbie being the exception cos she's just great and yes I do have a collection of collectable editions at home, but that's another day's story. By dolls I mean the Baby Born typed things, you know the ones that were like "real-life babies". I had a Baby born, but it spent much of its life under my bed where it still lives to this day; call child services, I know.
Although I'm not a girlie girl, I was never a tomboy either, keeping to the female past-times like ballet rather than football or the like. This mix I suppose you could say comes across in the way I dress. Though I might be more comfortable in a denim jacket and a pair of men's brogues, I can't but help myself enjoying a good sparkly dress for big occasions. This sparkly side of mine came out on New Year's Eve when I donned this Baroque style sequined dress from Topshop and even scraped my hair off my face for once in an attempt to look "made-up". 
Of course I couldn't be all girlie and so coupled the dress with my double-finger cross ring, also from Topshop, to make the look a bit......I don't know.... rockier let's say.


Happy New Year guys!
